Product Description
Eisner award-winning writer Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina) tackles Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight with "No Future for You." When a rogue debutant Slayer begins to use her power for evil, Giles is forced to recruit the rebellious Faith, who isn't exactly known for her good deeds. Giles offers Faith a clean slate if she can stop this snooty Slayer from wreaking total havoc - that is, if Buffy doesn't beat her to it. Georges Jeanty (The American Way) remains at the top of his game as series artist, and Whedon stays on as "Executive Producer" in this direct follow-up to Season Seven of the smash-hit TV series.

No Future For You (Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight, Volume 2)
as a fan of the tv show, i was intregued at the prospect of a comic book of buffy and i was pleasantly surprized. well written, well drawn, intriging stories and i can almost hear their voices as i read it. well done, all around.
Wonderful! June 23, 2008
Whedom continues to impress me with beautiful writing that tugs at my heartstrings and at the same time has me on the edge of my seat. The artwork is beautiful for a comic and captures moments in time that I thought could only be done on film. Both collections are well worth it to any fan of the series.
 good continue of the saga June 18, 2008
Thisis the second part of the Buffy's eighth season, only released on comicbooks, and I think that eventhough it's on TV, it's still amazing! I want more... highly recommended!
Almost as good as if it were on DVD... June 17, 2008
Joss Whedon is the man. He's the best script-writer television has ever had, and in his own rights I feel he's the Shakespeare of our time (what with re-inventing the English language ad hoc).
If you loved Buffy, this is worth reading to continue where Season 7 left off. The characters stay in character, and talk the talk. My only complaint is that their images are not always exactly like the actors - but given my own artistic drawing talents, I'm not one to criticize.
Buy this, read it, love it.
 Has it's moments but disappointing June 11, 2008

I was very psyched by the first volume of Season 8 and have had this item saved on my wishlist for months now. All this pent up anticipatation may explain my dissatisfaction with the second volume. The Faith side story starts out with some depth and potential, but the storyline borders on recycling. I simply cannot believe that an upper class elitist Brit was the best they could come up with as a foil for Faith. The interchanges seemed stilted and the villain more petulant and annoying than sinister or frightening. Faith has attachment issues and a hard time not switching sides. We get it. It's just a stretch to think that a new gal pal of 36 hours is the missing link that tempts her back to the dark side...
Since this was the predominant story line it really weighted my review, BUT the bright spot was the latter story (penned of course it would seem by the lucky fellow himself)chocked full of cameos and Buffy-Willow wittilogue.
Last time I checked, Joss Whedon was not soliciting my consultation before making his next creative decision, nor can I blame him. However, it's obvious to any Buffy/Angel/Firefly fan that the closer Joss is to writing/directing any episode, the better the finished product. Of course he can't be at all places at all times, BUT I am willing to bet my Sarah Michelle Gellar autographed Underoos that he had less hands-on during the production of this volume than the first.
